Faulty Mothercare Pushchair

Hi I just wanted some advice beforw heading back into mothercare today.
My dad brought a pushchair for me in march this year. My son was born in may so only started using it then.
On Friday the zip that lays the seat down broke (its a travel system and we've mostly used it as a pram so actually only used the zip a maximum of 10 times)
I took the pushchair into mothercare where they told me they can only send it off for repair.
They gave me a loan pushchair which is a stroller and when I got home and removed the liner it is filthy!
Basically I want to know if I am entitled to ask for a refund for the pushchair as I'm worried that it's just going to break again considering how much use it got before it broke this time.
I just don't want the hassle of having to keep getting it repaired seeingas it leaves me without a pushchair for up to 28days!
Thanks in advance for any help!

    The retailer has 3 choices.

    Repair
    Replace
    Refund.

    Its entirely up to them which route they take and obviously they are going to go for the cheapest.

    Thems the rules....
